Winnie the Pooh isn't illegal in China. You've been lied to.
They have it backwards, Winnie the Pooh is illegal outside of China, that's why Xi abducted him and forces him to work at Disney Shanghai.
Not sure where I implied in my post that it's illegal in China. Fuck xinnie, if that makes it more understandable for you
Take a look at my nick. Yes, that's a Chinese name. Are we doing the Jewish antisemitism thing?
As an Asian: I have never once met a single other Asian who thinks the pooh meme is racist. Even the Chinese pro-CCP crowd understands it's targeting Xinnie specifically. I've only ever heard the 'racist' take from white folks defending Xinnie. Thanks for your concern guys, but there's really no need.

I apologize for being rude to a racist
You shouldn't
The joke is that I don't actually apologize, fuck racists, and a very polite "your actions are cowardly" to the mod that removed my comment
Ah, so you were just being racist. Got it.

Jayzus.
Tsk Tsk. No religion in China, that'll get you on a list.
What list? The state sponsors religious celebrations, but surely you think they are Potemkin festivals. This sort of cold war bullshit is beneath any decent person.

Why is there so much poverty in Malaysia?
A friend of my girlfriend's family in Malaysia had a literal slave whose passport they confiscated. I remember being there last year and being utterly appalled. This house slave ran away a few months back.
Honestly, Xi would sort your mess of a country out, and no mistake.
Oh there's plenty that sucks about Malaysia, I fully agree. I've never claimed otherwise. In fact I've migrated OUT of Malaysia.
Are there any other whataboutisms you'd like to throw about?
Please point to where I claimed to be able to speak for Chinese citizens everywhere. As per my comment, I was discussing my personal experiences, and the viewpoints of Asian people I've personally known or interacted with. Which, given I'm a Chinese living in Asia, is counted in the thousands.
I'm not American, so I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your whataboutism comment.

No argument, so you report. That's an admission of fault in itself.

I've also had folks try to debate whether I'm Chinese since I wasn't born in China. Fun times.

I'm ashamed even one person fell for this.
Disparaging the government is not discrimination against the people
I've seen no criticism of the government. Just shit slinging.
Shit slinging against what? The government or the people?
Making "Winnie the pooh" and "Xinnie the pooh" comments over and over isn't criticism at all. It's just shit slinging.
